NowPerth Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 We took out a lease on our rental for 1 year. We will probably want to stay longer. Is it likely that we would be able to extend it on a 2 month rolling basis (ie, keep it going but either side has to give 2 months notice of ending)? Has anyone else done this? I don't want to discuss it with the agent yet. I might not want to sign up for another whole year in case we want to buy before then. I'm not sure what normally happens. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It can vary, but I know here in Vic that you can just roll it onto a month by month - would think it'd be similar on the sunny side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eera Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You can go onto any length lease you want with the consent of the landlord, the normal ones are 3/6/12 months, but I've had 4 months and 2 months before. there is the 1 month rolling lease option, but it doesn't give you much security if they want to put someone else in there - I think it's 2 weeks' notice on either side, plus some landlords won't do it as it's a specific exclusion on the insurance policy. If you've been a good tenant, you can ask the agent if you can have the new lease set up with a 2 month notice option; they can do that with permission, but it's not a usual thing to do.

calNgary Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Alot of agents will allow a rolling lease, especially if youve been there a while and been good tenants. Just ask.. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowPerth Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks for the info - it has made me feel a bit more relaxed about what could happen when our year is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surflen22 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 With my agent, I just let her know I needed to stay longer and it was all fine. She did need an end date eventually but there was no pressure and all very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
